Equation

As printed (Table 5, Sllove row, whole tree)

DW = 1.376 • exp0.320 • H

In this library's units, ready to compute (kg)

Aboveground biomass = 1.376 * exp(0.320 * H)
H
Total tree height, m

Young Q. cerris coppice stand at Sllove, Albania; whole-tree dry weight DW is the sum of stem, branches and leaves (roots not studied). Site-specific equation fitted on the 8-12 sampled trees of that site; 4.0-15.0 cm DBH and 4.1-10.0 m height are the sampled-tree ranges (Table 3). Fit by regression without transformation, so no correction factor.
